Slopsquatting package install lure — email tells you to `npm install` / `pip install` an AI-flavored package name attackers pre-registered with malware (2026 hallucination-bait supply chain)

What this tier means
High-confidence threat indicator — phishing, impersonation, BEC, or scam pattern. Strong contributor to the trash decision.
How Gorganizer detects this
"Slopsquatting" is the 2025-2026 supply chain attack where threat actors pre-register package names that large language models (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot) statistically hallucinate when writing code. Socket, Snyk, Jfrog, and Lasso Security research through 2025 found 20%+ of AI-suggested packages don't exist and a large fraction hallucinate repeatedly on the same prompt — a deterministic target list for attackers. This email-delivery variant lures developers to run a package-install command (npm install / pnpm add / yarn add / pip install / uv pip install / gem install / cargo add / bun add) for a hallucination-bait package name, with AI / agent / LLM / MCP framing to pattern-match the developer's recent ChatGPT or Claude workflow. Once installed, the post-install script exfils secrets, drops a backdoor, or installs a crypto miner. Fires when the body contains an install command AND an AI/agent context keyword AND no direct link to a reputable registry (npmjs.com / pypi.org / rubygems.org / crates.io) for verification. Legitimate dev-tool vendors always link the registry URL in announcements; slopsquatters cannot because their package is not the real one.
False-positive guard
Every signal in Gorganizer feeds a multi-module score — never a sole verdict. This is a threat-tier signal — it adds a strong contribution to the trash score. The full pipeline still requires convergence across multiple modules + a margin over the safety floor before deletion happens, and Gmail's trash (30-day recovery) is always used — never permanent delete.
About the scoring engine
Gorganizer's scoring engine emits over 1,800 signals across six modules — headers, sender, subject, body, attachments, and structural metadata. Every email is scored by every module independently; the final verdict requires multiple modules to agree and the trash score to beat the safety floor by a margin.
Sacred safety guards — never delete starred emails, replies, calendar invites, receipts/invoices, or attachments — apply unconditionally regardless of any signal.
